I'll huff and I'll puff ...
This post is mostly just for fun but, who knows, someone out there may have an application for this very unorthodox construction method.
Building with sandbags has been around for a long time. The military for one has used sandbag construction methods to build fortifications in the field of battle. And we're all familiar with using sandbags as a way to keep the flood waters out of our homes and businesses.
But did you know that there are some homes that are built using what are called earthbags. The principle is the same as the sandbag but you can use many different types of fill, depending on the circumstances. You can end up with a very low cost, sustainable structure that will last for years to come. And keep the big bad wolf out to boot.
